A Raccoon Scales A Giant Building And Becomes An Internet Sensation

But this isn’t any normal raccoon, this raccoon scaled the side of one of the tallest skyscrapers in Minnesota, after going nearly two days without food or water.

People online have been keeping up with this unraveling story since he was found on the ledge of the Town Square two days ago, supposedly attempting to get at a pigeon nest, but getting stuck instead.

This poor raccoon apparently got itself stranded on a ledge of the Town Square office building in downtown St. Paul, likely on an errant mission to raid pigeon nests on the skyway over 7th Street. It's been there for two days now, without food or water. @mprnewspic.twitter.com/fVI5pmdCWq

But what comes up, must come down. Instead of choosing to go towards the safety of food, the ballsy raccoon began to climb down the building. This time, much faster than he was going up. In the space of 15 minutes, he had nearly made it most of the way down.
